cap3 - how to add additional functions?

[Joe Topjian]

Hello,

I created a class that allows me to use Hiera alongside Capistrano 3: https://gist.github.com/jtopjian/8799635

This file is added to lib/capistrano, I require it in the Capfile, it works, and I'd be happy using it. But I'm just wondering if there's a better way to go about this? The other Hiera/Capistrano examples that I found are using Capistrano 2 and mix Hiera into the Capistrano module. For example: https://github.com/gtmtechltd/capistrano-hiera-example

Is there a similar way to do this with Capistrano 3? Is the method I used the best way to go about this? 

I apologize if this is more of a general ruby question than specific to Capistrano.

Thanks,

Joe

You can replace your CapHiera class with a module, and mix it into Capistrano::DSL. either by explicit "Capistrano::DSL.send(:include, CapHiera)" or by a simple include CapHiera in the Capfile, deploy.rb, etc.
